When we think about the bounty of fall fruits we think about orchard gems like apples and pears, but how a dose of golden sunshine? Our beloved fall season of warm and cozy desserts fresh from the oven welcomes a classic, fruity, tropical delight of a showstopper with a hojicha twist: Hojicha Pineapple Upside Down Cake! The roasted flavours of hojicha meets fresh juicy pineapple with a sweet dose of cinnamon and brown sugar for a scrumptious cuppa that’s just begging for a splash of milk and a slice of…what else? Cake!

Handcrafted in Toronto, Canada.
Steeping instructions: 2 tea spoons at 205F for 4-6 mins enjoy me with milk/as a latte!

Finally got around to entering my Dessert by Deb order into my spreadsheet. I had placed it around the end of September, excited for all the new hojicha teas for fall, and then I didn’t end up actually receiving it until the end of November, by which time I was no longer in fall mode, and was getting in gear for advents. So by then I just wasn’t excited for it anymore. Anyway, all that to say, because of that I neglected to catalog the teas or even open the box until recently.
This was one of the free samples Deb included, and one of the few hojicha blends I didn’t order because it just didn’t sound good to me, and because of the rooibos. And that was a good decision, because it’s just not very interesting. The rooibos mostly overpowers the hojicha, and the pineapple flavor is quite muted, so mostly it ends up tasting like woody rooibos with a hint of roast and a touch of candy pineapple. Oh, and a bit of cinnamon.
I think it could’ve maybe been nice if it was just a hojicha? Not sure why this one needed three different bases tbh. Oh well, always nice to get free samples!
Flavors: Candy, Cinnamon, Pineapple, Roasted, Rooibos, Smooth, Sweet, Toasty, Woody
